N Scale Free-mo (Free-moN)

The official web site for N scale free-mo modular railroading.


Free-mo is a standard specification for bench work, track work, scenery and digital control that attempts to raise-the-bar for scale modular railroading in general and, in this case, for N scale modular railroading. The standard promotes, and even forces, prototypical appearance and operations by using a single main line traversing the center of the module resulting in prototypical point-to-point or loop-to-loop configurations and operation.

The Free-moN standards document has been published and is maintained by the Free-moN Yahoo! Group. Come join the discussions and see what is developing. Some participants in the Southern California area have already built modules and are operating free-mo N layouts (the photo at the left is our set-up at the 2004 WPM show in La Habra CA). This is a new idea for N scale modular railroading and we need your input to make it successful.

The Spirit of Free-mo

The following list summarizes the spirit and benefits of free-moN over existing modular N scale standards:

These standards allow for module construction that is free form between the end-plates resulting in flexible and adaptable layout configurations to fit any available space.
